i dunno. im learning not to tell shrinks too much, because i had shrinks who tormented me (involuntary shock 'treatments,' anyone? ugh...).

these days, i take the psych drugs i need to stay out of a hospital and not waste my life. that's about the extent of it. psychiatrists kinda bother me. i mean, they're doctors, right? why should a doctor--who is trained to treat --medical problems-- force their value system on me? and define me? and construct a narrative and tell --me-- my life story?

sorry. i guess im saying...i understand your caution. i dont think its paranoia. i think as long as you're medicated enough to stay stable-ish, you can be more cautious about what you tell your psychiatrist and other mental health 'professionals'.

((just my opinion, of course...))
